The Consumer shall use the output of the Electric Generating Facility first to meet the requirements of Consumer’s electric consuming facilities located on the Premises. Any output of the Electric Generating Facility in excess of the requirements of Consumer’s electric consuming facilities shall be transferred to the Power Company and credited against the Consumer’s bill for electric service. Consumer shall only be entitled to receive a billing credit ($) for any such output of the Electric Generating Facility in excess of the requirements of the Consumer’s facilities, and in no event shall the Consumer be entitled to receive any payment from the Power Company for any such excess output of the Electric Generating Facility.

Compiled from public records, 2026. Tariffs and interconnection rules change; verify with Buckeye Rural Electric Cooperative before you rely on this. The useful move: if an installer says you need a main panel upgrade, ask how these tap and interconnection policies were considered first.
